I'm saying that yes, a capable man with a 10 shot bolt gun with optics can do far more damage than someone with a 30 round semi-auto. Trained people don't spray and pray, we fire single aimed shots at point targets, and with a bolt action 300 win mag you can tap people near a mile away, through armor. Something you certainly could never do with that AR. On Jan 10, 2013 12:10 PM, "Larry C. Lyons" <[email protected]> wrote:
